About
Gorbachev is a 4yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Michael Freedman in Gold Coast. He is by the stallion Russian Revolution out of Palace Rock. He has won four races so far. His most significant win came on 29 Nov 2025 at Doomben, where he claimed the $75,000 Class 3 Plate for 3yo & up. He has proven a profitable horse for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 247% return on investment.
